My tips: Packing & Travel Essentials Giveaway!
April 9, 2013
This past Spring Break I traveled to Minnesota(Cold weather) to visit my Father(Dodi) who got a successful liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic!!! And during this same trip I also traveled to Palm Beach(Warm Weather) for the end of Passover with my Mom(DJ Norma)! Packing for me is an art form. I always create a special packing list with little square boxes so I can check off everything in an organized manner.
Here are some of My Tips to pack for both Cold and Warm Weather within the same trip:
1) Make sure your outfits are interchangeable.
2) I see it as a simple equation. It starts with a graphic tee and then layer around it.
3) Denim always works in both climates both in bottoms and in a jacket or a vest.
4) Printed bottoms can brighten both weather locations and easy to layer a skirt with some cute tights in the cold weather.
5) Choose shoes that are easy to pack and wear on the plane but also can work for casual into evening looks.
6) Snag that perfect "black and white" spring blazer which works in both locations.
